Basic Attention Token (BAT) added to Coinbase

Coinbase has recently added Basic Attention Token to its offering of cryptocurrencies. Added soon after 0x, BAT is not surprisingly one of the 5 tokens Coinbase announced earlier in the year that it would be exploring. The original list is 0x (ZRX), Cardano (ADA), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Stellar Lumens (XLM) and ZCash (ZEC). Obtaining a listing on Coinbase is the immediate goal of any ambitious cryptocurrency. No telling if the other three will be summarily listed or forgotten about all together.

BAT looks to revolutionize the way advertising is done online through integration into the Brave Browser. Specifically the Brave Rewards program and Blockchain based digital advertising. With the Brave browser users can choose to donate BAT directly to publishers instead of fighting off intrusive ads and cookies. Publishers will also be able to pay users directly for their attention towards an advertisement.
